Question I have is why SuSE 9.2 put Open Office in /usr/lib?
It's in /usr/lib ? Even the executables? That's not nice at all. I took deep exception to their placing the firefox executable in /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib too, I don't know where this trend of placing executables in /lib comes from. I don't like it one bit
and then called it ooo-1.1. What was wrong with /opt/OpenOffice?
Well, open office 2.0 is right around the corner (slated for January IIRC), so adding the version number to the directory is probably a good idea to avoid collision, but /opt/OpenOffice-1.1 would be better
According to your URL /opt is where they should have put the Addon Application.
Yes it is, I agree
And another complaint is the waste of time chasing around links created because of the use of /etc/alternatives. Why waste so much effort when a single link has worked for years. I guess SuSE is trying to become a Debian clone. This is the first time I have seen SuSE alter so many obvious things. I would guess Novell may be the problem. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / / / / /_/ / \ / / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/__/ /_____/ /_/_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316
